Do you have guarantees that Core Devs will continue to participate after such move?

I'm certain that it is likely that most of them would abandon their 'public' work for Bitcoin. Would you not do the same if you got 'stabbed in the back' after this much time?

I dont think life is fair anyway. What about Satoshi and his vision for Bitcoin to become world number one currency and continuously scaling up to a point only the dataceners could handle the load, not individual home PCs. Who stabbed in the back his vision, do we appreciate he started Bitcoin at all? Should not Bitcoin follow his vision, and some altcoin try a different, artifically limited bloksizes perfectly suitable for home PCs bought around year 2005, now and forever.

...

It would be ridicious if gaming industry followed current core devs vision to make the games compatible with 10+ year old computers. Maybe good for few ones, but most would not be happy.

Satoshi didn't create Bitcoin to "become world number one currency". That doesn't exist in any of his writings.

As to node size/datacenter, Satoshi actually said that we should attempt to keep the system small as long a possible
and since that is still currently doable, we are still in accordance with Satoshi's original wishes.
He did state that one day we would need datacenters, but it does not need to be now.
That is the issue. People want it pushed into datacenters now, when Satoshi said hold out as long as possible.

Bitcoin was not created by Satoshi as a profit making corporation like the gaming industry.
It is not right to compare the node situation to such.
